I have a new hero!

This past week was very eventful. Mainly because on wednesday me and the rest of my group for 'Preparation for Practice' went to london to visit Johnson Banks. This is where we met the legend that is Michael Johnson!
Contrary to opinions and rumors of how he was, and his mentality to students. They couldn't have been more false! Top, Top bloke! answered all of our questions and more, giving us a great insight into how he has evolved and succeeded with his business.
As a student you wonder where the summate of graphic design is and whose there. Well he is, and quite rightly so! the amount he has achieved is phenomenal!
phhhheeewwwwww!!!
ok! lol! The rest of the week went very smoothly except not as eventful. Just trying to form together my pdf. portfolio and C.V. As well as designing a flash presentation for our group that will do johnson banks justice! It's going well, but i am struggling on what type of design to make for the C.V. What kind of company I'm trying to appeal to. Still i must be doing ok as i've got time to mess about! :D

I'm frickin sick of typography right now!!


Ok, well after contemplating in my head for months on whether to finally start a blog..... I'm starting!! so i thought i might as well start at what has gradually been driving me insane! Maybe it was down to having a whole unit last year revolving around typography for about 3 months! Arrrghhh!
They say that it is a good to have good typographical skills, and i guess it can see their point but i can't help but feel a little ashamed of myself in knowing so much about it now!
I have to admit though that i did enjoy some of the projects but it could very well be the most frustrating thing at times, so this is a piece i made, which pretty much sums up the frustrating times!
